It appears the Ohio State football program is hunkering down as the noise around it grows louder.
As OSU is set to open summer camp on Friday, the coaches and players had been set to meet with the media as the Buckeyes officially kick off preparations for the 2018 season. Given the fact that the program’s head coach has been placed on paid administrative leave, the keywords in the previous sentence are “had been” as the university announced Thursday afternoon that the media availability for both coaches and players has been canceled “until further notice.”
It’s anticipated that an update on the availability will come Monday, which could be an indication that the program expects the Urban Meyer issue to be resolved, one way or the other, around that time.
Because of the ongoing Urban Meyer investigation, Ohio State announces that football coaches and players will not be available to the media “until further notice.” Statement adds that they anticipate an update on availability Monday.
